Limerick – Aspire

When life’s keeping you in the mire,
But you’re determined to go ever higher,
The secret, it seems,
Is held in your dreams,
And all you need do is aspire.

There is a 60-metre tall sculpture at the University of Nottingham, called “Aspire”. It has been likened to an ice cream cone, or a dream catcher. I rather like it…

Valentine’s Countdown – 8

I bow in the breeze
I shall not break

I roll with the punches
I shall not fall

I flow with the tide
I shall not drown

With you by my side
I shall stand tall

With you by my side
We stand tall

Limerick – Pain

After “winning” last week’s challenge – which is genuinely the first time I’ve won anything for my writing – I’m back for more… and this time I’ve brought cute back-up! If you’ve a lust for a limerick, are randy for a rhyme, or go potty for poetry, please join in too! 🙂

 

If ever you’re feeling in pain
There’s something I need to explain
A positive mind
Will help you to find
The best way to handle the strain

What could be less stressful than looking at a bundle of kittens?

Limerick – Mental Mist

In the midst of the mind’s mental mist
Are some things that can’t be dismissed
Just clear your mind
And you will find
The one for which you have wished

Tame the wind – haiku

You can’t fight nature:
Wind is free; it can’t be tamed.
Start to speak your mind.

 

Written for secret keeper’s weekly prompt, using the words: wind speak free start fight
